A cutting tool having a cutting tip partially constructed from ultrahard materials. The cutting tip is oriented on the cutting tool such that the face has a reduced surface area. This has the effect of greatly reducing cutting tool costs and of maintaining the radius of the blade essentially constant even after repeated sharpening of the cutting tip.

Method of fabricating circular saw blades with cutting teeth composed of ultrahard tool material

Solid carbide segments are brazed to the rim of a steel body and then teeth are ground into them. This allows more teeth/inch on the perimeter and larger diameter blades than on previous carbide-tipped blades. The segments, which typically form an arc of a circle, provide the improved performance of carbide blades without excessive expense of solid carbide blades.
